Review 5/5

Five stars! This recipe is great. It’s easy, smells delightful, and makes your skin feel amazing. Some people may be adverse to the oilyness that takes a bit of good massaging to rub in, but I don’t mind in the least. My skin feels delightfully soft if I apply right out of the shower and it is even healing my dry heels after a week of use when no other moisturizer has.

Today I want to share my favorite eye cream with you. It is super simple to make using only two ingredients - coconut oil and Vitamin E. In yesterday's post we learned that coconut oil is a protective antioxidant and supports tissue repair and healing.

First you need to find a container to make your cream in. The one in the picture is a miniature jelly jar. My guess is that it is between a half and one ounce. In the past, I've just used clean eye contact containers. Fill your container with coconut oil. It is solid at room temperature and doesn't begin to melt until it reaches 76 degrees Fahrenheit. So, at this point I put it in the microwave for just a couple of seconds until it begins to melt. Next, you poke a hole in your Vitamin E capsules and add to the melted coconut oil. For the jar above I used 3 capsules. I use 1 capsule per side when using contact containers. Then, I use a tooth pick or wooden skewer and blend them together. At this point I put the cream in the refrigerator to become solid again. After that happens there is no need to keep it refrigerated. The oils will not become rancid.
